Title: Parish record for Marriage of John Cragg to Jane
Post by: SDCragg on Saturday 06 August 11 16:15 BST (UK)

Hi, I need to find a Parish marriage record for John Cragg, born 1810 or 1811 to Jane Unknown born 1807-1808. Broth born in Sutton Bridge, Lincolnshire (is it Sutton Bridge or Wridge as i find both and unsure which is correct...?). Children are from 1833 so i can assume 1827-1833 would be the date. any idea how i can get this or order it?

I'm pretty sure John has no middle name as on the 1851 Census, he lists his Sons as Robert Carr, John and William and daughter as Jane so i assume the 2 Johns and William and daughter Jane have no middle name since he specifically put Robert's middle name. Also listed wife Jane as just Jane Cragg.

thanks :) that does look right. however i have no luck in finding anything else about her or Richard.. is it usual for "in the presence of" to be the father? could it be a brother if the father was deceased?

Juts like today the witnesses to a marriage could be fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, cousins, or someone totally unrelated - a friend of either party or in many cases, the churchwarden

If the witness shares a surname with one of the bridal pair, it is a clue towards the family - but no way of knowing how they are related just from the marriage record
